'Genuine heroes don't need Mugabe to pronounce them'

MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai on Saturday described Muzuva as a true national hero who fought for people adding that "genuine heroes did not need Mugabe to pronounce them."

"We are burying a hero; real heroes do not need a President to say there is a hero. He advanced the interests of the people before his own interests," Tsvangirai said.

Muzuva died of colon cancer last week. He was 43.

Harare mayor Bernard Manyenyeni led his councillors while the MDC-T leadership, acting town clerk Josephine Ncube, Chief Svosve and several other mourners attended the funeral.
